To clarify differences in air permeability of the hose cloth of different types of pantyhose on the market in Japan, cylindrical model experiments and wearing experiments were conducted. The former was made to determine fundamental performance of the air permeability, and the latter, to evaluate the practical performance of worn pantyhose. Zokki, kohhen, sheer, wooly, and conjugate types of pantyhose were used as samples. There were large differences in air permeability among these fabrics when elongation was low or moderate. In around the maximum elongation state, almost the same high air permeability was shown regardless of pantyhose types. There were some pantyhose with lower air permeability while being worn, or other ones which have higher air permeability, regardless of posture, body shape, and sites of legs.
